If you look on the Antarctic sea ice extent compared to normal, sea ice right now is WAY above normal and is over 1.4 million KM ahead of last years record high compared to this time last year. As we all know sea ice in the arctic is decling, but it did make a big improvement this winter. NASA even said the reason sea ice declined this past year was mostly due to shifts in the wind patterns that drove the ice out to sea to melt into warmer currents. But for 5 straight years now, and it looks like possibly 6 straight years after this winter, sea ice in the Antarctic will continue to grow. The longest period I'm looking at right now before this was 3 years. Hmmmmm and we never hear of this.
Oh yeah, and Mars is warming faster than Earth due to natural causes.
